2016
has been a year of ups and downs in the world and my year has been no
different. With the year waning and the new one about to begin, I’d like to
focus on some of the great things that happened for me in 2016!

I had
6 older books updated and rereleased.

Beyond
the Page rereleased my Summersville Secrets trilogy—Uncovering Annabelle, Enticing
Emma, and Lily’s List. They all got new titles and wonderful new covers.
Beyond the Page is also contracted to rerelease my Dalakis Passion vampire
series in 2016. They’ll all be updated and receive new covers. I’m very excited
about this.

Carina
Press rereleased the Project Alpha trilogy—Embracing Silence, Assassin’s
Awakening, and Alpha’s Revenge. Two of the books
got new titles, but all three were updated and got amazing new covers.

I also
had three Salvation Pack books released in 2016—Wolf on the Hunt, Wolf on a
Mission, and Wolf in his Heart. Look for Wolf in her Soul (Feb 2017) and Wolf
of her Own (May 2017). Samhain Publishing also released the three novellas in
my Hades’ Carnival series in one volume, both ebook and print.

I
also signed with a new publisher in 2016. Entangled Publishing took a chance on
my idea for a drakon shapeshifter series and released the first book—Drakon’s
Promise—in December 2016. What a wonderful way to end the year! Watch for more
drakon books in 2017.

On
the personal side of things, I took a trip with my brother. We’re both big
baseball fans and I’d never seen a game in person, so we hopped on a plane and
flew to Toronto for a long weekend. (I find travel intimidating and never would
have done it without him.) We hit the Royal Ontario Museum, Hockey Hall of Fame
(we’re big hockey fans too), and Kensington Market. Of course, we saw a
baseball game and the Blue Jays won!

It
was a whirlwind trip, but I loved every second of it. To cap it off, when we
were waiting for a connecting flight, we ran into Daryl Sittler and Lanny McDonald
at the airport. We both grew up watching them play for the Toronto Maple Leafs!
We got our pictures taken with them. Best trip ever!

I
also went on a two-night road trip with my sister. That was more about driving
down every back road and stopping at every beach along the way. It was an
awesome trip. I loved our time together.

So
these are the highlights of my 2016. I have high hopes for 2017. I wish you and
your family the best for the coming year.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.Away to the window I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

ASSASSIN’S
AWAKENING is now available from Carina Press and other fine e-retailers.

This book was previously released
in 2009 by another publisher under the title Have Mercy. It has been revised and updated for rerelease
with Carina Press.

The pulse-racing Project Alpha trilogy continues as a rebel fugitive
comes under the care of a woman whose touch means the difference between life
and death

Logan is pure Alpha, a
genetically enhanced human who has escaped from the brutal gated city in
which he was designed, and from the creators who want him dead. Running for his
life across a ravaged Earth, Logan’s goal is to survive. It’s in his blood.
Until he awakens wounded, bound and naked, exposed to a beautiful stranger. Now
he's vulnerable to sensations he’s never felt before.

Mercy Dockins has tended to many
wounded men, but none as intoxicatingly perfect as Logan. Or as responsive to
her curative strokes. But as passion ignites between them, Mercy’s very purpose
in the bleak new world order is shaken to its core: Logan has brought her not
only ecstasy, but danger, too. He's drawn the enemy to her sanctuary, and now
their love could soon be just another casualty of war.

I'm thrilled to announce the release of Drakon's Promise, Book 1 in the Blood of the Drakon series, releasing today from Entangled Publishing.

Darius
Varkas is a drakon. He's neither human nor dragon.

He's
both.

He's
also the target of an ancient order who want to capture all drakons for their
blood. When fresh, a drakon's blood can cure any illness and prolong a human's
life, and the Knights will stop at nothing to get it.

When
librarian Sarah Anderson stumbles across a rare book belonging to the Knights
of the Dragon, she's quickly thrust into a dangerous world of secrets and
shifters and things she never would have believed possible. When the Knights
realize Sarah has a secret of her own, she becomes just as much a target as
Darius. Her scary dragon shifter just might be her best chance at survival.
